"School administrators and parents trying to wussify young boys."

Nailed it with clarity.

“Looks like the school invented a new game “fag””

Hey Mylife, don’t fall for that PC crap. Tell us what really think.

Remember Shadow Tag???

We even had a variation of it that we played under the street light in the evening.

Another excellent idea from those professional educators preparing our children for the work force, adult life, military service. We can’t pay these people enough.

Goodness, I must be doing something wrong. Both my boys (soon to be 8 yrs old and 10 yrs old) are friggin beanpoles. They wear 8 slim and 10 slim in pants. Why? Because we don’t buy a ton of junk food and Cokes. Hell my 10 yr old doesn’t even like the taste of Cokes! If he can’t drink milk, he’s rather have water. And better yet, I LET THEM PLAY OUTSIDE. Hell, we spent damn near the entire summer in the townhome community pool.

I remember that the fat kids hated dodge ball too.

Get some exercise or get used to the torment.

complained that they'd been chased or harassed against their will.

No one can make them run! When they grow up they will complain they are being harassed against their will to show up at work on time.

Okay, how many here will admit to having played an informal game of Dodge Rock way back when?

Proudly raises hand.

Yes and the beautiful thing about is that it requires no exertion on our part. :-)

I think the homos must have spilled some Astro Glide on the slippery slope before us.

A suburban Charleston, S.C., school not only banned tagged, but outlawed all unsupervised contact sports.

So, what happens to children who are caught playing contact sports during recess; suspension from school and a prescription for Ritalin.

When tag is outlawed, only outlaws will play tag.

Never played Dodge Rock, but did have some great BB gun fights!
